How to Evict a Tenant in Wyoming?

In Wyoming, eviction lawsuits are governed by Title 1, Chapter 21, Article 10 of the Wyoming Statutes.

Step 1: Serve the Notice

The landlord lets the tenant know they either violated the lease terms or don’t intend to renew the lease (if the tenant is month-to-month).

Step 2: File for Eviction in Court

The landlord files a complaint explaining the reasons for the eviction and a summons for a writ of restitution at the local Circuit Court where the property is located.

Step 3: Attend the Court Hearing

The Circuit Court will issue a summons to the tenant using a process server. The summons will tell the tenant the nature of the complaint and the court date. At this time, the tenant can file an answer.

Step 4: Finalize the Eviction

If the tenant doesn’t appear at the hearing, the Court will find for the landlord. The Court may also find for the landlord after the presentation of evidence, after which the Court will issue a Writ of Restitution authorizing the sheriff to remove the tenant from the property forcibly.
